We Are Here Scotland
Free to Apply
Closing: 25th February 2026
We Are Here Scotland invites Black and Global Majority creative and cultural professionals based in Scotland to apply for Creators’ Fund+, a 12-month programme supporting sustainable career development. Each awardee receives a tailored support package worth £2,980, broken down as: £1,514 direct funding for creative development (equipment, training, materials, workspace, marketing, collaboration costs, professional services); £586 paid to awardees for attending 20 hours of mentoring sessions (£29.30/hour); and £880 paid directly to mentor(s) by WAHS (£44/hour for 20 hours).
The programme supports ongoing career development and progression rather than one-off creative projects. Twenty hours of paid strategic mentoring from industry professionals is included, with flexible arrangements: complementary multi-mentoring (two mentors with different expertise), intensive specialist mentoring (deep focus on specific skills), holistic career approach (integrating creative, practical, and personal development), or discuss options with the WAHS team. Mentoring covers areas like creative development, technical skills, financial planning, scaling strategies, and professional confidence.
